Most clients find me after wasting weeks on engineers who deploy fast but leave security gaps, brittle scripts, and zero documentation behind.
Well, I do the opposite.
I'm a DevSecOps engineer with 7+ years building cloud infrastructure that is production-hardened from day one, not secured as an afterthought. AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, secrets management, container security, GDPR-compliant workflows, all of it built clean and documented properly. I'm also one of the few engineers who builds AND secures AI agent systems. LangChain, CrewAI, RAG pipelines, MCP servers, I understand the attack surface of modern AI infrastructure that most security engineers have never touched.
